What's The Netherlands Like?

The Netherlands has a diverse culture and this is reflected in the wealth of attractions. Starting off in Amsterdam, let's visit the Rijksmuseum where you will embark on a journey through Flemish art going from the Middle Ages to the present day, including Rembrandt's famous Night Watch. Then there's the Anne Frank Museum, an inspiring tribute to humanity's will to survive. The Van Gogh Museum is a snapshot of the artist's genius housed in a striking modernist building. The Heineken Experience is a highly popular examination of the process of making this iconic beer with a free drink at the end. All of these are within easy reach of Netherlands hotels in the capital. The tranquil surroundings of the Vondelpark are great for picnics. To get even closer to nature, try De Hoge Veluwe National Park which houses wildlife including red deer.

Tips for Getting Along with Locals in the Netherlands

The Netherlands is quite a liberal country and thanks to its range of nationalities, particularly in Amsterdam, you should get on fine as the locals are used to many cultures. When greeting, a handshake is the norm or with someone you know well, three kisses on the cheeks. A little bit of the local language is appreciated but residents will probably speak to you in English as that language bridges the city's ethnic groups. When it comes to eating, try a bit of anything as the many nationalities have contributed dishes to the national palate. You can dress quite casually in the Netherlands. At Hotels.com, we immerse ourselves in each location, gathering as much information and customer feedback as possible, so that when it comes to booking you can make an informed decision that you can be happy with. So once you have got accommodation sorted from our selection of Netherlands hotels, you can get on with soaking up the culture.
